It was an absolute pleasure to be with the people behind the United Architects of the Philippines Cebu Chapter who started celebrating their golden anniversary yesterday through an exhibit at SM City Cebu. Their 50th anniversary is a celebration of the legacy of visionaries, innovators, and creators who have shaped the architectural landscape of our country. Here in Cebu City, architects are responsive to the needs of our people. They play a vital role in the city’s progress and development through their innovative and creative designs, many of which have become iconic structures which, in turn, have transformed our skylines. But as we celebrate the past, let us not forget the future. Cebu City is a dynamic metropolis whose needs are constantly evolving. There is a growing demand for sustainable design, for structures that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally responsible. There is a need for architects who can bridge the gap between technological advancements and the preservation of our cultural heritage. The challenges you face today may be daunting. And I have no doubt that UAP Cebu Chapter is up to this challenge. Because for them, I’m with you, #RESULTisGUARANTEED. Then, architects are known for your #STRONG #Service. Is it true?
